How to Postpone Head Processing Just a Little Bit

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. After I posted a photo of myself in a recent article, I got calls from some of my senior colleagues telling me to shave my beard lol (3 people). My apologies. I’ll shave my beard and try again! Maybe heatstroke prevention isn’t just about your body! Anyway, after the anchor segment, I’m feeling a bit…

I Tried Making ◯◯◯ | A Slope Builder's DIY Projects

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was in a total frenzy loading up machinery to head to a job site! I didn’t even have time for lunch and was completely wiped out. This heat is really getting to me. Next week, I’ve got three days of plant work ahead of me… The biggest problem is that I won’t be able to answer my phone, so to everyone involved, until next Wednesday…

Creativity Becomes Obsolete | Always Come Up with New Ideas

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. My former teacher from Kagoshima (from my days at Kagoshima Jitsugyo High School) sent me some raw chicken sashimi. There’s really nothing like raw chicken!! It’s absolutely delicious, but apparently people from Kagoshima are super resistant to Campylobacter, so we can eat it without any worries. My kids, though…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I just happened to come across this article (lol). “Ranking of Jobs You Don’t Want to Sleep With”—and it’s ranked 6th! … I’m like, “What the heck is that?!” But what do you think? If you look for the opposite of this, you’ll find the “Ranking of Jobs You Do Want to Sleep With.” Oh!…

Sensitive to Changes in Soil Conditions | The Observational Skills of a Drilling Operator

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went on a little hike. There’s a place called the Gozaisho Ropeway, and there’s a mountain there called Mount Gozaisho. Well, since there’s a ropeway, there’s obviously a mountain there (lol). There’s a trailhead there that’s suitable for beginners, so I went with my kids…

Workability of PC Load-Bearing Panels | Ease of Installation on Site

Hello, everyone. It's Enta here. The weather's really nice today, lol. It makes me want to go out and have some fun, but I've got work to do. Lately, I've been totally hooked on Monster Hunter, so I spend my weekend nights playing that. Video games really make you lose track of time, don't they? lol Anyway, moving on to the topic at hand: the pressure plate that's a nightmare for anchor installers, the P…

Spray Coating for Zabuton Frames | Leveling and Spray Finish

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The blog post I’d been drafting on the plane just vanished (lol). I don’t even remember what I was writing. So disappointing lol. Anyway, moving on—regarding the discussion about money in the Zabuton segment the other day, I was putting together some cost estimation documents in Excel. And there was a mistake in it…

Cost Estimation for Zabuton Frames (About Money) | Unit Prices and Quantities

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I feel kind of busy, yet kind of free at the same time. Overall, I’m pretty free, lol. That said, if you’re wondering if we have too many people, there are actually a lot of young newbies (with less than a year on the job) around here (lol). Since I can’t go out to help out anywhere, I’ll just have them paint something here at the office... But enough of that...
